“I cannot say enough good things about this place and the people who work there! Not only is the beer always excellent, but they are just wonderful neighbors - regularly throwing small festivals and other fun activities for the neighborhood.“
“Pleasant way to spend a rainy October Sunday afternoon sampling ciders. Our server Janelle was kind and engaging. The atmosphere was clean, comfortable, and dog-friendly. The ciders were extra tasty, and I especially liked the Rose'. It's definitely worth follow-up visits.“
“I have enjoyed beer from Alarmist Brewing in the past, but on a recent sunny Saturday afternoon my love and I decided to finally visit Alarmist Brewing and Taproom. It is situated in Sauganash on Peterson, just about two blocks west of the Pulaski bus terminus. There is a free parking lot in case you are driving here. They have an outdoor patio, but we gladly grabbed seats in the taproom that faced out the "front window" for great people and dog watching. The menu lists two different flights, and we went with the Hoppy Flight with six 4-ounce pours. They don't serve food, but the staff was fine with us bringing in some sandwiches and chips to eat.“
“Recently went here for the first time. I particularly enjoyed the Coffee Blossom and Oaxacan Forest Wildflower traditional meads but there were a wide variety of flavored meads too, all of which were great. The owner was more than happy to tell us the story of the business and answer all of our questions about the process, ingredients, etc. I'm looking forward to going again in the future!“
“Nice, very tiny place. Good beer. Seating is not the most comfortable, lots of backless bar stools and small tables. Within the location is a business where they press cremated ashes into diamonds. Fine. But then brewery stuff is stored in the dead people processing partitioned space. I don't get it.“
“We came here for a sushi making class that accidentally was set up for a pasta making class. (That had nothing to do with the bar, plus we enjoyed it anyways) but we tried a few different kinds if their christmas flavors. Oh. My. Gosh! The war on xmas and I dont remember the exact name of the cult one but it was chocolatey and spicy. Not to mention the war on xmas tasted like butter beer from harry potter world! They were all amazing! The bar and restroom were also very clean.I also like how different the decor is. Reminded me of Salem. We bought 6 cases before making the drive home. The staff was so welcoming and helpful by the way even found us cases rhey thought they didnt have! We will definitely make the 1.5 hr drive to come back here. Looking forward to trying the new flavors next week! Thanks again for making our trip memorable!“
“Stop in, you'll likely meet Paul or Keith behind the bar. Both serve and brew the beer you'll be drinking.Kinslager is a great room to stop in and have a beer or two. I usually bring some home, and growlers are a sealed 24? ounce sealed can!Kinslager consistently cares about the community that they curate in their little piece of the world.This makes for an amazing eclectic crowd - it's likely that more archaic knowledge passes through that tap room than the British Royal Society annual meetings in the 17th century.“
“We hosted our baby shower at church street, and it was amazing. Everyone loved the atmosphere. We worked with Jace before, during, and after the event. The food was amazing, I did not receive a single complaint from my very picky family members, they all agreed it was amazing. The guest enjoyed the beer and we even did a growler with a beer of choice as one of diapers raffle gifts and it was the most popular one! I am so happy we hosted our event here, it went so smooth and hassle free. I will definitely be hosting events again here in the future!“
“Before I arrived, I thought this was just a bottle shop with a couple tiny tables. I was wrong! There is a whole bar area, tons of guest beers, and very friendly staff. The beer is fantastic; that goes without saying? Stop on in!Psst - There is also a patio area out back“

“We ate at Phase Three today at the recommendation of my doctor. And it did NOT disappoint. We even got a complimentary meal from the Executive Chef so he didn’t waste the plate after taking pictures of his new special. To say the food was amazing is an understatement. There were so many flavors and they all blended so dang well. They even had some unique beer option that we brought home. If your down in the Chicago area or willing to make the trip, it’s definitely worth it“
“I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Kalee's service, and I was incredibly impressed!Kalee was friendly, professional and , attentive .Kalee knowledge about micro beer ? was particularly helpful.Overall, Kalee's service was exceptional. She made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable.“
“Lunar Brewing Company is located in suburban Villa Park. My love and I would normally not be anywhere near Villa Park, but we tagged along with our friends for an eats-and-drinks excursion in the 'burbs earlier this summer. We stopped in for some drinks here, and there is an extensive list of beverages to choose from. The interior is plastered with all sorts of beer memorabilia and other random fun things. Check out Lunar Brewing for easygoing good times if you are in the area.“
“Never knew this little gem existed until last night. Fantastic live band on the patio on a beautiful night. Was slightly confused with the single-file line leading from one corner of the bar and out into the venue 20 people deep? I believe I saw three bartenders working and I'm having a hard time doing the math on this one. I've worked enough bars back in the day and can't recall seeing a single-file line. Maybe next time they can guide the patrons over the full space of the bar area. Just some costructive thoughts ?“
“Noon Whistle has always been a cool spot with some great beers, but they recently also launched a new food menu. Of course we had to try the pizza and it was so fricken good. We were there yesterday for lunch and I’m about ready to brave the -30 degree temps to go eat the same lunch again. You have to check it out.“
“"Sketchbook Brewing Co. absolutely knocks it out of the park with their exceptional customer service and phenomenal beer! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and made me feel right at home. And let's talk about the beer - every pint I had was expertly crafted and bursting with flavor. I'll be back again and again! 5/5 stars, highly recommended!"“
“Not only do they have an impressive selection of very tasty brews, the food is gourmet level, even if you just go for lunch! My wife and I enjoy it, perhaps a little too much. Our kids less so, but they're not old enough to enjoy the good stuff. ?“
“Stopped in with my teenager. They had kids friendly drinks that she loved. Ordered pizza it was great. And yes the craft beer is excellent. Everything it sampled tasted was fantastic. If you are in the area and love craft beer, this is a great place to stop in and enjoy a beer, friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere.“
“Great place to have a casual meal with friends or family. Not sure if you need a reservation but we made one for a Friday night just in case. Sat at a round table with cushy comfy chairs. You scan a QR code on the table, order what you want and keep your tab open. Our friends did the same on their own phone so at the end there was no awkward; how much do we each owe? situation. I wanted a beer flight but had no idea what to order so I waved down someone by the bar. I told him I usually like Blue moon, Stella, and coronas so he told me to order the "light flight" So I did and I loved all three choices. For my meal I had the Lobster Roll with a side of fries. My husband got the Chimichurri Arrenchera Sandwich and we split a large Mac and Cheese. My lobster Roll was packed with meat. So good and I was glad I got it. My hubby loved his sandwich as well. Neither of us were fans of the Mac and Cheese and I thought the seasoned fries could have been better. I will definitely come back to this hidden gem. I'm looking forward to sitting outside when the weather gets nicer.“
“The only one that could stop me from talking about this place is Boeing!Once you come here you start checking their website feverishly because they have a new wing of the week but also, burger and Mac and cheese of the month. Some would say they have the best wings in the city! I like that they are not afraid to experiment with their wing flavors, when I went the wing of the week was piña colada flavored!If you’re into beer this place has it and a wide selection. I came here strictly for the food, I’ve been here multiple times and have gotten the wings, burger and the cod po’boy. All 3 items impressed with the taste, quality and portion size! Don’t settle for a Boeing quality restaurant where they just throw in the scraps! Go to Old Irving Brewing!“
“We tried Pho no. 1 Brewing tonight and we were really happy with it! We’ll be back again for sure! The Pho was a little sweeter than I expected, but it was my first time having it so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The beef skewers, egg rolls, and wings were amazing. All four of us left full and happy! Definitely recommend!“
“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Elmhurst Brewing Company, and I can't say enough about the incredible experience. The craft beers are an absolute delight, boasting rich flavors and a perfect balance that showcases the brewers' expertise. The food offerings complement the brews seamlessly, with a menu that not only satisfies the palate but elevates the entire dining experience. The ambiance is inviting, the service is top-notch, and the overall atmosphere makes it a standout destination. Elmhurst Brewing Company has truly mastered the art of crafting delicious beers and offering exceptional food—a definite five-star experience!“
“This is our go-to for fish & chips in the area, even more now that Owen and Engine closed. We love the food, drinks and atmosphere. Great service (Sam and Taylor are both excellent, they remember us every time) and the food quality is consistently great. Would highly recommend as a stop in Oak Park or even a break from the city!“
“We LOVED this place. Such a cool environment. I had the best cheese curds here. The food came so fast. The beer is very good. We definitely will come back and will recommend this place to everyone. By far one of my favorite breweries now. Bravo.“
“Group of 8 had a great experience here ordering a variety of appetizers and two pizzas. All of the appetizers were good, but if you're hungry, the nachos were definitely the biggest bang for the buck. Wings weren't that spicy and could have come with more veggies, but that seems to be the case everywhere these days. That's being said, they were meaty, crisp and perfectly cooked! The dark lager beer was also great.Parking: Make sure to bring your parking ticket with you to the restaurant to have it validated.“
